Today moving down all the things to set up the booth area. 2 tent awnings, chairs, tables, coolers, table coverings, signs, miniature garden stuff, junket stuff, air plants. This morning is a tractor ride which I will help with. Then I will wait till 4 and we will be in the Franklin Co Fair parade. Larry pushed me on one of the wagon racks backwards, and has one following him on the tractor. It is 1 1/2 mile parade. He always gets comments about that feat. After the parade we will start setting up the booth area. It will be a good day but a long day as we need to water the pots, baskets, shrubs that we decorate the fair grounds. Larry has a tank on the pickup with a generator, and pump with 50 feet of hose to do the watering. We need to be there at 6:30 AM to get this done and then Larry can go to work on the fair grounds for that day's activity. He is on the committee for Grandpa's Farm which is a actual demonstration and working of the old farm equipment. MORE to come about that this week.

Yesterday went well. Loading and unloading all the plants to sell onto the two wagon racks. I had taken them down Monday morning, so that was good. Took 5 of us with traveling time 4 1/2 hours to do this. But the wagon racks look good. HOPE good enough for people to buy.

Larry and the committee has been bundling wheat for the last 2 days. They wanted to get it done before it starts to rain and storm. That is it dry and going well to do, but it is hard work and being it is so warm will be harder today then yesterday. The bundles of wheat will be going thru threshing machines during the demonstrations at the fair. There will be pictures. So come and see what this fair is all about. LOTS going on, and many people do attend. Till tomorrow this is Becky Litterer, from Becky's Greenhouse, Dougherty Iowa
